Chapter 226: With The Help Of Flashbangs
A certain Eighth Route Traitor Elimination Squad
“Oh no, why hasn’t the captain come back yet?”
The deputy captain held the telescope, carefully observing a house from the shadows.
Inside the house, the target and another Japanese Invaders intelligence officer were meeting.
According to intelligence, their meetings never lasted more than three minutes.
Time was already passing one minute.
If the captain didn’t return in another minute and a half, the deputy captain would have to grit his teeth and carry out the assault order given by the captain before leaving.
Once they assaulted, bullets didn’t have eyes, and the target was very likely to be accidentally killed.
The target, seeing no hope of escape, might also commit suicide by gunshot.
If they couldn’t capture him alive, the operation would be a serious failure.
“Everyone get ready, prepare for assault.” The deputy captain saw only one minute left and gritted his teeth.
“The captain is back.” Someone reminded at that moment.
The deputy captain quickly looked over and sure enough saw Wang Xunbu return drenched in sweat, holding two strange cylindrical projectile bodies in his hand.
“Captain, is this a flashbang?” the deputy captain asked excitedly.
Logistics Minister Zhang had said that this flashbang could make the people in the room lose their vision and hearing. If this flashbang was really that effective, it would be a godsend for captures, so the captain had personally gone to the Border Region Arsenal.
“Yes, finally made it back.” Wang Xunbu was too tired to participate in the capture operation. He handed the two flashbangs to the deputy captain, quickly taught him how to use them, and said: “Throw it into the room where the target is, and rush in immediately after it explodes.”
“Good.” The deputy captain checked the time; thirty seconds remained, enough time.
The deputy captain held the flashbang and quickly approached with the team members.
The sentries outside the house were directly killed, and they rushed to the outside of the house.
The two flashbangs had their pins pulled, were pressed, and thrown in through the window.
Bang!
Bang!
Two muffled sounds rang out, followed by screams: “Ah, my eyes.”
“Baka, my eyes!”
……
The deputy captain didn’t hesitate and quickly broke through the door with the team members.
After a few gunshots, all the Japanese Invaders guards inside were eliminated.
Finally, the deputy captain successfully captured two personnel who had been knocked out and securely tied up.
One was the major traitor they wanted to capture this time, unharmed, and the other was the important Japanese Invaders personnel meeting with him.
The capture operation succeeded, and the Traitor Elimination Squad quickly withdrew.
The deputy captain was extremely happy and excitedly said to Wang Xunbu: “Captain, this flashbang is really too useful. When we rushed in with our people, the people inside were like blind fools, all dizzy. We shot the Japanese Invaders guards directly, pressed down the two targets right away, and we had zero casualties. It was so smooth.”
In previous capture operations or traitor elimination operations.
Once firefights occurred, team member casualties often happened.
Zero casualty incidents were really rare.
This flashbang made the capture target temporarily lose combat power, turning into a blind and deaf person; it was really satisfying.
The dangerous capture operation was as simple as eating and drinking.
Wang Xunbu also smiled: “This target escaped three times in a row. If not for the flashbang made at the Border Region Arsenal, our mission would probably have failed again.”
“Yeah, luckily Factory Director Li at the Border Region Arsenal is so capable; he made the flashbang at the critical moment.” The deputy captain nodded excitedly and asked curiously, “Did you meet this Factory Director Li when you went to the Border Region Arsenal? Is he really that young? How is he so capable? He can make cannons and flashbangs. At this rate, he might be able to make anything in the future.”
“He seems about twenty-something. As for his appearance, I was in a hurry to get the flashbang and forgot to look closely.” Wang Xunbu now recalled that his attention had been entirely on the flashbang, and the image of Li Muzhi’s face in his mind was surprisingly blurry.
“When there’s an opportunity, we definitely have to meet this Factory Director Li properly.” The deputy captain was very interested.
“Right, almost forgot the main thing. Where’s the data on this flashbang? Hurry and give it to me; I still need to take it to Factory Director Li.” Wang Xunbu slapped his forehead, remembering this.
It was the intelligence department that had sent someone to intercept him midway. He had left in a hurry, and Li Muzhi hadn’t had time to mention it.
“Sure, sure.” The deputy captain took out paper and pen and quickly wrote.
How long until the flashbang exploded, how loud the explosion sound was, and so on.
As for how strong the light was or how loud the noise, the deputy captain couldn’t write that.
After all, without personal experience, he didn’t know how to describe it.
However, since the targets in the house had all lost hearing and vision and were at their mercy, the deputy captain could only vaguely write: The light can make the target lose vision, the noise can make the target lose hearing, and there’s enough time for the operation to capture.
After the deputy captain finished writing, he handed the notebook to Wang Xunbu: “Captain, done.”
Wang Xunbu took the notebook, glanced at it, pocketed it while scratching his head, and said: “Factory Director Li helped us so much; how should we thank him?”
He had said earlier to thank Li Muzhi properly, but now that it was time, he didn’t know how, which was a bit headache-inducing.
“How about inviting him to dinner?” the deputy captain said.
“If you’ve seen the food at the arsenal, you wouldn’t say that.” Wang Xunbu glanced at the deputy captain.
It wasn’t self-deprecation; the food he could offer couldn’t match the meal standards at the arsenal, so better not embarrass himself.
“Then give him a good gun?” the deputy captain suggested again.
“He can make cannons; he could put artillery on his shoulder. Would he lack your one gun?”
“Then give him…” The deputy captain came up with several ideas in a row, all rejected by Wang Xunbu.
Finally, Wang Xunbu simply said: “I think it’s better to give Factory Director Li a promise, to help him fulfill one wish; that would definitely be better than giving things.”
“Captain, aren’t you worried that Factory Director Li’s wish at that time might be something we can’t fulfill?” the deputy captain said.
“It shouldn’t be. Although my contact with him was very brief, I could tell he’s not someone who likes to make things difficult for others.” Wang Xunbu said.
“Hope your intuition is right. If not, once the words are out, it won’t be easy to take them back.”
“You take the target back to report first; I’m going to the arsenal now.”
“Yes, captain.”
……
Border Region Arsenal
Wang Xunbu’s capture operation was a complete success, while Li Muzhi was still lecturing the students.
He had basically taught the basics of electricity; what remained were some common electricity safety issues.
“If a high-voltage electric wire falls to the ground, never run away directly, as that can cause step voltage shock, which is life-threatening. The correct way is to immediately bring your feet together and then hop away from the danger zone using one leg or both legs.”
“The principle of step voltage shock is this: due to the step causing different distances to the wire, the voltages differ. Current forms a path along a person’s two legs and the ground.”
“If someone is electrocuted, don’t rush to rescue directly. First shut off the power supply, then rescue. If the power supply can’t be shut off, use an insulator to move the wire first.”
“In thunderstorms, avoid hiding under trees or near tall pointed objects, as they easily attract lightning.”
……
Li Muzhi transmitted all the organized electricity content to them.
Of course, electricity is a vast discipline that can’t be covered in one or two classes.
Li Muzhi had selectively chosen the most immediately useful content to let these students quickly get hands-on.
“Alright, today’s class ends here. Make sure to remember everything I taught you thoroughly.” Li Muzhi put away his information. “In future work, if you encounter anything related to electricity that you don’t understand, you can ask me in the canteen.”
“Factory Director, you just mentioned batteries. When can our Border Region Arsenal make batteries?” A student raised his hand and asked.
“Materials are insufficient, and equipment is lacking.” Li Muzhi answered. “But I believe that day isn’t far off. Our combat troops are excellent; they’ll soon send us materials and equipment.”
“If we had the equipment, after hearing your explanation, Factory Director, I feel we could make batteries too.” Liu Fuxing said.
“When the time comes, leave the batteries to you to make.” Li Muzhi said directly. “I’ll teach you the specific details then.”
These students were all very smart with strong hands-on abilities.
Unlike in later generations, mocked by foreigners as: exam machines.
With these students trained, Li Muzhi could fully act as the brain of the arsenal.
These students would be the hands and feet; Li Muzhi just needed to direct with words, and let them do the work.
This way, whether it was parts production, military industry weapon assembly, or even final testing, Li Muzhi wouldn’t need to participate.
He just needed to supervise from the side.
Then, Li Muzhi could free up more time to fully develop new weapons.
His mind held quite a few advanced weapons from later generations.
But materials and equipment were the biggest limitations, along with technical challenges.
He couldn’t directly copy later generation technology; he could only improve it as much as possible.
This required sufficient time for thinking and development.
“Factory Director, do you trust us that much?” The students were very surprised.
“It’s not about trust; it’s that each of you is excellent enough, far beyond my expectations.” Li Muzhi praised.
Li Muzhi’s praise made all the students overjoyed:
“Haha, Factory Director Li, you’re making us a bit embarrassed.”
“Factory Director Li, you’re also amazing. All of us together still can’t match your excellence.”
“Even the Japanese Invaders say Factory Director Li’s value equals several of their Class A Divisions. We’re far behind you.”
……
Li Muzhi smiled: “Everything in my mind, I’ll transmit to you all. Your future achievements may not be inferior to mine; if you surpass your teacher, I’ll have bragging rights too.”
“Factory Director Li, can we call you teacher from now on?” a student asked.
“Of course…” Li Muzhi didn’t finish speaking.
The Guard Captain suddenly pushed open the door, extremely excited: “Factory Director Li, Regiment Commander Liu of the 115th Division’s troops have brought a large batch of equipment.”
Regiment Commander Liu of the 115th Division?
Li Muzhi was a bit stunned upon hearing this.
Hadn’t this Liu Weidong gone with Li Yunlong and Gao Liujin outside the encirclement?
How could he bring back a large batch of equipment?
Suppressing his doubts, Li Muzhi was still expectant: “Really a large batch of equipment?”
Bringing back a large batch of equipment right under the Japanese Invaders’ raid was no small feat.
“It’s true, Factory Director Li. Go take a look quickly.” The Guard Captain urged.
“Teacher, can we go see too?” The students were also very curious.
“Sure, let’s all go take a look.” Li Muzhi nodded.
Having the students follow would also let them identify the equipment on the spot.
They had to learn it anyway.
Li Muzhi quickly walked out, students following behind, all looking very happy:
“Teacher said the combat troops are excellent, and it’s true. They got equipment back even during the Japanese Invaders’ raid.”
“Just don’t know what specific equipment it is, and if it can make batteries.”
